Documentation
Branded, diagnostic error pages for Filament.
A drop-in replacement for Laravel's default 500, 403, 404, 419 and 503 pages, built from native Filament UI so they inherit your panel's colours, fonts, brand logo and dark mode automatically.
- Native Filament, not a bespoke theme — pages are composed from
<x-filament::button>,badge,sectionandicon, on a light theme-aware scaffold. No design system to maintain. - Real data, never invented — content is derived from the actual exception:
authorization detail on 403, the missing path on 404,
Retry-Afteron 503, and on 500 the real exception behind a "View more" panel — class, location, message and a structured, debugger-style stack trace, unwrapped to the root cause. Exposure followsAPP_DEBUGby default; force it on/off withshow_exception_details. - SAP-style message numbers (e.g.
SNT-500-087), stable per error signature — the same failure always quotes the same number, easy to give to support. - Request ids assigned by middleware and echoed on the response, so the id on the page matches your logs.
- Translations for English, European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese.
#Screenshots
#A panel action failed — the branded 500 appears over the real, still-visible page
![]() 403 — access denied, with the real reason |
![]() 404 — page not found, with the missing path |
![]() 419 — session expired |
![]() 503 — maintenance, with Retry-After |
#Every page follows your panel's light or dark theme automatically
![]() 403 — light theme |
![]() 404 — light theme |
![]() 419 — light theme |
![]() 503 — light theme |
#Installation
composer require anselmokossa/filament-sentinel
That's it. The package auto-registers and its pages become the default for aborted
requests — nothing to publish. Your app can still override any page by adding its
own resources/views/errors/{code}.blade.php.
The pages reuse Filament's published base stylesheet (
public/css/filament/filament/app.css). It is created byphp artisan filament:assets, which Filament already runs on install and deploy.
#Register the plugin (optional)
Add the plugin to a panel to configure it fluently. This is optional — the pages work without it.
use Filament\Sentinel\SentinelPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
SentinelPlugin::make()
->brand('Acme') // defaults to the panel/app name
->messagePrefix('ACM') // ACM-500-087
->windowPosition('bottom-right') // or ->fullPage() for a full-page 500
->email('help@acme.test') // "Contact support" mailto:
->homeUrl('/admin'),
]);
}

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=sentinel-config

#Publishing & customization
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=sentinel-config # config/sentinel.php
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=sentinel-translations # lang files to edit the wording
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=sentinel-views # the Blade views, to restyle
#Overriding a page
Because the pages register as the default errors::{code} views, you override any of
them the standard Laravel way — add your own resources/views/errors/404.blade.php
and it wins.
#Eject — keep the pages after removing the plugin
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=sentinel-errors
This drops a self-contained set of error pages (500, 403, 404, 419, 503) straight
into resources/views/errors/. They have no dependency on this package — or even on
Filament (their own palette, inlined styles and icons, only Laravel core for the
message number, request id and exception detail), so they stay branded and keep
working even after you composer remove the plugin. From then on they are yours to
edit. The published copies live in your app, so they take precedence over the plugin
immediately.
